School of Graduate Studies
Overview
The School of Graduate Studies was established in the 1999/2000 academic year. The aim of Management in establishing the School of Graduate Studies was to address the academic manpower requirements of some selected Departments.
In 1996, the University signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Brockport University of New York (Suny Brockport).
